A ripple effect occurs when an initial disturbance to a system propagates outward to disturb an increasingly larger portion of the system, like ripples expanding across the water when an object is dropped into it. The ripple effect is often used colloquially to mean a multiplier in macroeconomics.
In this meaning also, ripple is usually to be considered an incidental effect, its existence being a compromise between the amount of ripple and other design parameters. Ripple is wasted power, and has many undesirable effects in a DC circuit: it heats components, causes noise and distortion, and may cause digital circuits to operate improperly.

"An existential crisis is a period of deep reflection on the meaning of one's life," explains Billy Roberts, ... Chronic overwhelm has a ripple effect that can exacerbate an existential crisis.
As a private company, Ripple Labs doesn't have to report its financial details and the size of its cash reserves. But the group has dropped a few hints about its financial health recently.
In electrical circuits, ringing is an oscillation of a voltage or current.Ringing can be undesirable because it causes extra current to flow, thereby wasting energy and causing extra heating of the components; it can cause unwanted electromagnetic radiation to be emitted [citation needed]; it can increase settling time for the desired final state; and it may cause unwanted triggering of ...
If Vice President Kamala Harris decides to run for California governor, she would seismically reshape the race and cause ripple effects on down-ballot contests.
Torque ripple is an effect seen in many electric motor designs, referring to a periodic increase or decrease in output torque as the motor shaft rotates. It is measured as the difference in maximum and minimum torque over one complete revolution, generally expressed as a percentage.
